What obj_crossref_net does on Eda Agent
AI agents call obj_crossref_net to retrieve information from Eda Agent without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why obj_crossref_net is rated Low
The name suggests retrieving cross-reference information about a net object in an EDA context (Altium Designer). 'crossref' typically implies a lookup/query operation. However, with no description available, confidence is low. Defaulting to Read as the most benign interpretation for a cross-reference query.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'obj_crossref_net' suggests cross-referencing net objects, likely a read/query operation. Description is empty and uninformative.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs obj_crossref_net safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Eda Agent, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For obj_crossref_net, this is the rule to start with:
obj_crossref_net is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Eda Agent, apply this rule, and every obj_crossref_net call is checked against it from then on.
